Few
cases typify everything that is wrong with gun rights, police brutality and
racial profiling like this one.

Early Tuesday in
Indianapolis, an African-American woman was being carjacked in front of her
home in her working class neighborhood. She ran back in the house, told her
husband, who is also black, and they called the police to report the robbery.
That seemed to be the right and safe thing to do.

He, of course, was
not the robber. In fact, police have yet to even say if they caught the robber.
Since they dusted the car for fingerprints, it appears that the actual man
committing a crime got away and the man who wanted to protect his wife and
family was instead shot and currently fighting for his own life in the
hospital.

Speaking to the
Daily News, several reporters and neighbors all confirmed that the husband who
was shot was black, but said that they do not yet know the ethnicity of the
officer who shot him.

Whatever the case,
the violent encounter should help illuminate the very real fears so many black
families have when calling the police. This family needed help. They wanted to
report a crime in their neighborhood. The husband wanted to protect his wife.
These are all very basic rights we have, but day after day we see that gun
rights don't really apply equally to African-Americans.

Merely reaching for
his wallet got Philando Castile shot and killed in his own car. Having a gun in
his pocket caused police to shoot Alton Sterling repeatedly in his back and
chest.

Now this.

We do not yet know
the extent of this man's injuries, but a bullet to the mid-section can wreak
havoc. Yet again, without fully understanding the facts of what they were
seeing, American police fired upon a man unjustly. It's just not right.
